Job Work

By day, I work at Conde Nast. Recently I was the VP of Product for Pitchfork,
Engineering Director for both Pitchfork and WIRED, and I built the first version
of them.us. Now, I am the Engineering Directory for CN's new User Utility group.

Selections from GitHub

Here's my GitHub profile,
which has a lot of baseball data code, api wrappers for a couple of music sites,
and some other odds & ends.

Recent Talks

MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, 2017, where I gave a lecture on
the ins and outs of web scraping. In this session, we built a composite ranking
of MLB prospects from different sites. In doing so, we looked at scraping dirty HTML,
JSON APIs, looking for structured metadata, XPATH, and more.
